Don&#39;t know if thats right but IV not put big red Xs yet so must be ok.. Also put kennel liners for incontinent dogs and for pups extra bedding, matress for old, certain breeds, orthro cases - welfare and comfort. Dogs not staring at each other especially if one dog doesn&#39;t like other dogs - cover the side and same for cats.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/151315?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 22 Apr 2014 22:51:51 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:61ab32a3-a0dc-4584-828f-c1f5870a1083jane Lewis<p>Hi, I would agree kennel size should be a welfare consideration. Other considerations such as heat, lighting etc for particular species I.e exotics and temp for neonates should be considered. My interpretation would be that these things are welfare considerations so a lot cross over across the 17.2 skills. Environmental stimulation could also be considered in terms of the animals welfare . Hope that helps x</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
